Macedonische ritmes ondersteunen het altijd actuele thema van onzinnige wraak en sociaal-etnische strijd in Osveta. Regisseur Hintjens vertelt twee verhalen. Het ene speelt zich af in Macedonië, waar een arme christen een rijke moslim redt van een wisse dood. De mannen worden ondanks de tegenstellingen vrienden, totdat doden in de families een vete veroorzaken. Het verhaal wordt zeventig jaar later in Antwerpen vervolgd. Pas verwarrend laat in de film wordt duidelijk hoe het een zich met het ander verhoudt, maar Hintjens behoudt de aandacht met spanning en mooie beelden.
